More December Fun!

December continued to be a fun month. We invited friends over to decorate Graham cracker houses.






Eve had her second piano recital and did beautifully.


Christian continues to become more interactive.

We went to the Mormon Trail Center and enjoyed the gingerbread festival again this year. Sheri got to show us the one she made at preschool that was displayed.











One not-so-fun event was a snow storm that took out some power lines near our house on December 20th. We didn't have power from 1 AM to 5 PM. We were able to bundle up and stay warm inside for the day. We were lucky to have a gas fireplace. Being without electricity increased the kids' appreciation for it. The kids agreed that we really are blessed to live with electricity (most of the time.) Finding things to do on a snow day with out power made them think a bit more. They had a great time with a large cardboard box and blankets making a fort. We were so relieved when the power came back on! I won't tell about my attempt to venture out of the neighborhood because getting stuck and pushed out more than 6 times is just embarrasing!
